Like many kayak builders before me, having built a few different designs, I began to think about designing one of my own. I was not prepared to pay for a commercial naval architecture package, and I thought it would be a fun project to develop my own kayak design software. KayakFoundry is the result. Version 1.6 is now available for download below. This is a free program, but contributions are welcome!

KayakFoundry BBS. Blue Heron Kayaks • View topic - Fiberglass Cloth Question. Hopefully I will have most of what I need. I forgot to ask what you use to thinken the epoxy that stays clear? Thanks again for the quick responses guys! Also, has anyone used the color tints in the epoxy? Was also considering tinting the hull epoxy white. Hi Seth, it seems you have some questions that have gone unanswered. To thicken epoxy we use a thickening agent. In order to obtain clear thickened epoxy you can pour out a given amount of resin then add only about 1/4 of the necessary hardener, keeping the other 3/4 for later. The only tint I have used is black and when used in a large enough quantity it does a good job.
